Digital Prescriptions: What Are the Benefits?

Digital prescriptions are becoming a foundational part of modern healthcare. They improve safety, efficiency, and care coordination - but for many providers, the transition can feel complex.

Digital Prescriptions: What Are the Benefits?

1. Standardized, structured, and reliable prescription data

Digital prescriptions ensure clean, consistent data across all systems:

  • standardized medication information
  • reliable dosage and instruction formats
  • structured data pharmacies can process instantly

This reduces ambiguity and improves dispensing accuracy.

With Formidable:
We use OpenMed to normalize and harmonize your internal drug catalog with commercial pharmacy products — eliminating the need for complex, manual mapping.

2. Better care coordination between prescribers and pharmacies

Digital prescriptions move securely and instantly, improving the entire care chain:

  • fewer clarification calls between clinicians and pharmacies
  • real-time visibility into dispensing status
  • easier follow-up for chronic or long-term treatments

With Formidable:
We integrate directly into your existing system so coordination becomes automatic, not an extra task.

3. Strong protection against fraud and misuse

Digital prescriptions include:

  • a unique, verifiable prescription identifier
  • secure and monitored transmission
  • a tamper-proof, immutable history

This strengthens patient safety and reduces misuse.

With Formidable:
Every prescription is immutable, protected, and safely stored, helping your organization remain compliant with retention and audit requirements, without building anything internally.

4. Faster workflows with less administrative work

Digital prescribing simplifies daily tasks:

  • no paper
  • no printing, scanning, or uploading
  • automatic pre-filled information
  • fast renewals and repeat therapy workflows

With Formidable:
There is no workflow change if you already generate prescriptions from your system.

5. A better experience for patients

Patients benefit from:

  • no lost or forgotten documents
  • faster pickup at the pharmacy
  • clear, standardized instructions
  • smoother renewals

Digital prescriptions support continuity of care and improve treatment adherence.

Pharmacies receive structured data instantly, so patients face fewer delays and errors.

6. Support for all clinical needs and custom workflows

  • multi-drug plans
  • chronic disease management
